Meaghan Dunn has been specializing in creative direction and visual storytelling since 1998. In 2001, she art directed her own show as co-creator at Cartoon Network, based on her comic A Kitty Bobo Show. 

Born on the South Korean island of Hong-do, Meaghan Dunn has been drawing since she first had access to paper and crayons. Adopted as a young girl, she grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, inspired to begin creating comics at a very young age. She went on to study Biochemistry and Visual Communications at the University of Delaware and later Animation, Graphic Design and Instructional Design at Full Sail University. She began self-publishing her own comics while living in Berkeley, California. During her time in Berkeley, she co-founded AKASF, a Korean adoptee nonprofit with two fellow adoptees she met in the North Bay Area. It is still running today.

Dunn currently resides in Bucks County, close to where she grew up, where she is raising her 20-year-old daughter Nari. In her very limited spare time, Dunn enjoys playing ukulele, guitar, and piano; creating music for cartoons; cooking Jewish and Korean specialties in her home kitchen; and dabbling in entrepreneurship. She also runs her own mail-order gluten-free dumpling business, an independent punk free newspaper and continues to draw her 25-year old comic series Kimchi Girl, published first in Korean Quarterly. 

Dunn has a breadth of creative and education experience.
